--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Nothing new here. The "^$" or "$^" 'regex' matches are not defined in the ICU
libs and are coded as needed. For Writer that is in findtxt.cxx with the
'bChkEmptyPara' tests. 

Seems like the 'EMPTY' values of sw Table cells are not treated in similar
fashion during "^$" or "$^" regex finds of empty paragraphs. 

If possible, seems an overdue enhancement to make our regex finds of empty
elements consistent.
